Dak Bangla: http://dakbangla.blogspot.com/2005/03/hypothetical-theatrics-is-bangla-bhai.html Blog # 3 - Hypothetical Theatrics - Is Bangla Bhai a Sikh terrorist from India? ++ The buzz "where on earth has Bangla bhai disappeared"? Months before the much publicized crackdown on the jihadist, we were certain that the media who had more a less a fix on this insolent idiot, not only where he is and what he was up to , down to where his camps are located and how many men he has managed to torture and kill, would be able to do us a quick fixâ.but then here we are and its one big zilchâ. ++ Check this out , our nameless <http://thedailystar.net/2005/02/28/d5022801098.htm>Bogra correspondent said : "A leader of JMJB, which was banned last week for militancy, hinted that Bangla Bhai may leave for Pakistan today or tomorrow. Asked how Bangla Bhai would leave, the JMJB leader declined to provide any information. Another source said Bangla Bhai may go to Afghanistan if he fails to go to Pakistan"âas if one could just "fly across" to Pakistan or Afghanistan without India never knowing a damn thing? ++ Someone ought to teach this Bogra correspondent a lesson in geography - unless he is blind and has no need for one. <http://rantburg.com/s.asp?S=bangla+bhai> Rantburg truly has a fine sense of geography when its says: " Some frontier villagers apprehended that Bangla Bhai might have fled to the neighbouring country. But, police could not confirm such apprehension. The law and order improved in the region, the sources said."âNote the word "frontier" - the closest frontier that Bangla bhai has is INDIA. ++ Not to be outdone another nameless <http://thedailystar.net/2005/03/01/d5030101022.htm> Staff Correspondent from Rajshahi makes an open-and-shut case: "The Rajshahi superintendent of police (SP) misused his power to back Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh (JMJB) and even helped Bangla Bhai to flee, according to a cross section of public accounts, coupled with documentary proof and a special government report."ââof course it is always fair to give the SP devil the benefit of the doubtâ.when he says "Why would I help Bangla Bhai? He is a criminal. You made him the most powerful criminal. So where is he hiding now? It is only you (journalists) who are writing news after news on Bangla Bhai based on pre-physiological concepts". Asked to comment on the special police report, Mia questioned the manner in which it was obtained. "You (journalists) must have supplied the allegations against me."âwhich brings Dak Bangla back to square one â..Where on earth has Bangla bhai disappeared? ++ Significantly the JMJB sent our letters to the <http://thedailystar.net/2005/03/02/d5030201119.htm>good old post box at Rajshahi Press Club stating in no uncertain terms: ""We demand that our leader Dr Galib be released immediately," the letter reads. "The government should forget the dream of arresting Bangla Bhai and Abdur Rahman. It declared five political leaders here to be 'murtad' (infidel) and threatened them with death if the demand was not met by March 24". ++ What went amiss to a lot of people but not sharp witted Joe in Dak Bangla is the second part of the letter which said: "It also threatened with death foreigners visiting Rajshahi as well as journalists, and vowed to launch its actions against the law enforcement agencies" â.that the US or other Western Embassies have not issued a travel advisory for Rajshahi is indicator that whoever planned the 'globalisation of Bangladesh jihad' hasn't quite done his homework well. ++ By the 5th of March the entire equation seemed to have come around full circle when again our nameless <http://thedailystar.net/2005/03/05/d50305011312.htm> Correspondent from Bogra reported: "Bangla Bhai gave law enforcers the slip making it across the border into India in the early hours Thursday"â..but what seems to be very puzzling is this part of the report which says :" Although they could not tell the exact border point Bangla Bhai slipped through, the sources said it might be somewhere in Sapahar upazila. "He has many activists there to help him escape into India," said a JMJB regional operations commander"ââ..Notwithstanding that he (corespondent) hasnt taken a lesson in geography yet, he gets into further unrestrained heat: "On Bangla Bhai's ultimate destination, he said, "He may go to any of the three countries -- Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iran," stressing on Bangla Bhai's preference for Afghanistan." ++ Meanwhile another <http://www.newagebd.com/2005/mar/07/front.html>Staff Correspondent in Bogra dug in his heel and got in touch with Bangladesh intelligence (no names again): "The intelligence agencies in the north are not convinced that the operation commander of the Jagrata Muslim Janata, Siddiqul Islam alias Bangla Bhai, had crossed the border and taken refuge in India a couple of days ago as reported by sections of the media. They believe that the spreading of his alleged escape story is a new trick being played by his backers in the administration to help him avoid arrest. "From the very beginning of the government's crackdown on Islamists 10 days ago, Bangla Bhai's backers wanted to see news in the media that he was planning to flee Bangladesh,' said a top official of an intelligence agency in Bogra. 'Stories of him changing his earlier plan to surrender as his followers opposed the idea fearing something "disastrous" for the militant outfit and him deciding to leave the country were all part of the ploy,' he added.T he official said the next step in the ploy would be to spread word that Bangla Bhai fled to India on his way to either in Pakistan or Afghanistan to find a safe heaven." ((note Heaven and NOT Haven)â.good newsâfor we now know all too well about how smart these jihadist think they areâthey haven't figured out nothing yetâwell so we hoped! ++ Meanwhile about this crook we got behind bars, the Ghalib fellaâit does seems a bit surprising that only oneâ<http://independent-bangladesh.com/news/mar/02/02032005cr.htm> we repeat ONE newspaper reported a very bizarre story: " Dr Muhammad Asadullah Al Ghalib, chief of the Ahle Hadith Andolon Bangladesh (AHAB), yesterday confessed to have visited India 22 times over the last four years to meet with the leaders of Indian organisations Salahi Andolon and Ahle Hadith Andolon but he did not divulge the name of the Islamic militant leaders operating India, according to a competent source. Interestingly, he visited India 8 times without passport according to his confessions, sources added. The source said that the members of the Joint Interrogation Cell (JIC) had been trying their best to know the names of the instructors who came to Bangladesh from India to train his disciples and the names of those disciples."ââif what it e is saying is true (on the premise that every newspaper report from Bangladesh is TRUE) âw really need to figure out how come this bloke could go over to India legally and illegallyâyet the Indian intelligence didn't seem to know a damn thing about it? Not to forget that India has time and again sent list of to Bangladesh, without proof, of over 100 jihadist campsâwhile conveniently forgetting thatâhey the monkey was always up on their backâ....all along? ++ Well that is not all folksâ India sent in a whole bunch of jihadist to train our mullahs and <http://www.bangladeshjournal.com/index.php?ID=3563&tim=3-3-2005> this report says:" According to multiple official sources as well as media reports Dr Asadullah Al Galib, Professor of Arabic and chief of Ahle Hadith Andolon Bangladesh, informed Joint Interrogation Cell (JIC) of Bangladesh government that a total of eight Indian citizens came from Indian territory in the last three years to Bangladesh for training 11 Islamist extremists about manufacturing and use of arms and explosives. The Indians were from Bihar and Punjab provinces of India and some of them were non-Muslims, including some "Singh""ââthat "Singh" nameâ.ummâis usually a bearded Sikh mullah (remember the Golden Temple in Amritsar and Khalistan?)â.hang on is this Bangla Bhai creep a Sikh from Punjab? ++ The last word from <http://thedailystar.net/2005/03/06/d50306011111.htm> Indian Intelligence to the puzzle had to come from a Bangladesh newspaper where it is said:" Indian intelligence started enquiry into the connection of Aahle Hadith leader Asadullah Al Galib with some of the madrasas in West Bengal. A senior official of the State Intelligence Branch (SIB) said primary investigation found that Galib visited some madrasas of North 24 Paraganas, Murshidabad and Malda districts several times. SIB officials said neither Galib nor any of his associates visited the madrasas with valid travel documents."But when Galib visited Aligarh University in Uttarpradesh for his research work, he always carried proper visa," said an official."ââ..no official word from India yet and it is not surprisingâ ++ Not to be undone in this game of scrabble the US endorsed 'democratic Jihadist' the Jamaat-e-Islami <http://newagebd.com/front.html> had this to say: "Arrest the editors of the newspapers which have continuously been publishing reports on Bangla Bhai,' the Jamaat assistant secretary general, Muhammad Kamaruzzaman, told a rally at the Baitul Mukarram Mosque. 'Once the editors are quizzed, it would be known where Bangla Bhai stays,' he told the rally, followed by a procession, organised to protest against 'anarchy created by the opposition parties through hartals'. 'We, on behalf of the people, warn that the country is neither Sikkim nor Afghanistan,' he said also charging some writers and columnists for representing external forces that are 'out to destabilise' peace in the country." ++ End of the complex Bangla Bhai equation let us be reminded of what <http://dakbangla.blogspot.com/2005/03/india-ib-raw-too-play-politics.html> Kuldip Nayar said recently: "Still the main source of intelligence agencies remains the press. This was my experience when I was the Information Officer at the Home Ministry in the late fifties. The same thing was true when I was in India's High Commission in London. Both times I had to make a request to stop the reports that would come to me in sealed envelopes. The explanation I gave was that I saw the reports in the language press two-three days earlier." ++ If newspaper reports are a source of credible intelligence (if we haven't learnt from Iraq that is) till such time they come up with actionable proof that leads to arrest of Bangla Bhaiâthe guilt of culpability in "creating" a Mullah Omar-esque brigand will continue to weigh heavy on its fragile shoulder, not on the government alone. ++ On India and its 'paper intelligence' and bigwigs in the <http://www.saag.org/>South Asia Analyst Group,âthe less said the better.
